I must admit, I'm a "Vintage Book Junkie". I get so excited when I see stacks and stacks of old books. Even if they aren't worth anything from the seller's standpoint, I still enjoy looking through them.I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's the fact that I'm holding something that has survived 75-100+ years. Maybe it's because literature back than was often full and rich - unlike many of

It's been 3 weeks (give or take) since I've done any real scouting for inventory. This morning I told my business partner (hubby), if we had the money, we really needed to go see what the stores had. Not that I have nothing to list (believe me I'm not lacking in that department), but most everything I have to list is what I call the "harder to list stuff" because most of it does not have an

I have been thinking a bit about the coming year, and some changes I want to make to our little business. This past year I "allowed" my hubby to start doing his own auctions. This was a difficult move for me as the perfectionist in me wants everything just so. He is anything BUT a perfectionist. So I relaxed and let him go at it - making minor changes (like spelling corrections or adjusting

I have to be honest with you - I didn't hear about this boycott until this weekend. (Of course having a house full of sick children could have had something to do with that.) I guess sellers are up in arms - yet again about the fee increases/decreases. What would these people do if they had actual brick and mortar stores?My take on all of this? First I will not participate in this boycott.

Over the past couple years, I've learned it's important to not be selling on only one venue. You never know when they will raise prices or go belly up. Since branching out onto other selling sites, I have seen my sales increase - which makes sense.I recently came across eBid Auctions and it looks like a promising site.

When you hear "eBay" and "money" in the same sentence your probably think of becoming an eBay seller. You place product listings in the eBay marketplace, buyers bid, you pay your eBay seller fees and what you have left is your profit margin. There is, however, another way to build a business which still revolves around eBay but which doesn’t involve you selling a single thing in the

Because I so enjoy buying and selling books, I'm always on the lookout for new sources to do both, and have come across a site to do that called Booksupply.org.One of the nice things about Booksupply for selling, is there is no set up fee, no monthly fee. You just pay $1 per book sold. Not a bad deal, even for lower priced books because you also set the shipping

When I mention to people that our family has a little Ebay business, one of the first questions I get is “can you really make money at it?” and my honest answer is YES! Ebay is one of the simplest home businesses you can start up, that doesn’t cost any extra overhead. You don’t even have to buy product to begin making some extra cash - start by selling unused items from around your home!There
